Daniel Rosser won the March Avenue Tennis Club Academy Tournament battling through the hail, high winds, rain and sunshine.

The event was run in two boxes with Daniel winner of Box 1 (Georgina Cameron, Heather Duddy) playing a final match against Josh Christison winner of Box 2 (Beth Darby, Jessica Griffiths).  Head coach, Vinny Duddy said Daniel used his speed around court to cope with the awful weather conditions making sure that he got to every ball back into his opponents court.
